Explorations in Markmaking
As a part of our ongoing efforts to debunk stereotypes about the elderly, their abilities and inabilities in later life, the Center for Elders and Youth in the Arts (CEYA) strives to provide innovative and challenging arts projects which enable participants to explore and discover. Having achieved success in many other CEYA projects including self-portrait, life story, still life drawing, Chinese brush painting and quilting, this group of seniors takes on a new more rudimentary approach to art making. Working with artist Mchael Namkung. Explorations in Markmaking is a meditation on experiment and discovery. Using found objects and improvised tools, the process becomes the product and the “aha moment” is the reward.

Collage & Portraits
These works were done at the Richmond Village Beacon located at Washington High School in San Francisco’s Richmond district.

Layering
This project, developed by CEYA artist Augusta Talbot, takes students through several processes that help them fill the page with imagery and color. Beginning students are initially very intimidated by the blank page and have trouble accumulating layers and combining images – often leaving large areas of the page blank. Through this process of collage, still-life and cutting and pasting previous works, the works become full, more interesting and have more depth.
